All Peers is Coming

P2P + Web Browsing = All Peers

It looks like there's a new killer app about to launch... it's called All Peers, a(nother) Firefox extension that is basically a persistent buddy list that sits in the side of your browser and lets you share files from your local machine with your buddies. So say I have 100 pictures from my trip and want to share them with my whole family... boom! Directly from my machine. It even works when you're offline. It's also a full-on Bit Torrent client that lets you download files with a quickness from multiple sources in your lists, other people who have decided to share the files you are looking for.

AJAX for Tony

Tony's giving a talk about web development and he has to talk about fancy stuff like Ajax (the stuff that powers mapping technologies like Google maps), so I just wanted to pop a few links up here that might lead him to the promised land of ansynchronous XmlHttp requests:

Ajaxian.com
Lishen.name

For extra credit, you might even want to talk about JSON, an AJAX alternative that's lightweight, and allows for cross-domain queries. Have fun!
